Scripure tells us when we are Born-Again we recieve a new Spirit and a new heart but also a new will power strengthed by the Holy Spirit. Our body and mind are not changed, renewed or regenerated. They remain the same. In other words when you accepted Christ you still had some bad thoughts and behavior that didn't line up with the Word. We still have what I would call "self life" which are the hurts, the resentments, the doubts, the pride, the bitterness and all the other thinhs that we have stuffed or buried in our souls from past experencies. We have become programmed or conditioned to the negetive emotions and expereancies in our life. Self Life is when we bring up this buried debris over what GOD is telling us. The sanctification process is to teach us how to reconize this self life and how to deal with it and allow GOD's life to flow from our hearts. Sanctification is simply the process of restoring the image of Christ in us. 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Many of us has never learned the cleansing steps needed to be sanctified and instead have either passed down and/or burried most of our pain. That pain needs to be turned over to Jesus Christ and let Him take it and heal us. Christ told us what is intentions are in Lk 4:18. 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, We need to Reconize the problem (ask GOD if you don't know) We need to Repent for participating in that sin i.e, self bitterness, unforgiveness, rejection and so on. We need to Remove the sin (spiritual aspect) command it to leave and let the enemy know that it has no more power or authority over that situation in your life. Also, purpose to forgive yourself so the devil cannot bring it back up and this also gets rid of the shame and guilt associated with the sin. If that situation is brought back up by the enemy tell him to get lost you,ve been forgiven! Then thank GOD in Jesus name and ask Him to send the Holy Spirit to speak truth to you about the subject. Listen to your consciense and intuition, this is the Holy Spirit talking to you. Has always test the spirits and make sure they are from GOD. Try the above for a week and I honestly believe it will make a difference in your walk with Christ. It will also get rid of thoughts and behaviors that don't line up with GOD's Word which in turn can help get rid of health problems that were caused by stress and worry which is actually a sin. 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient, 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 2:26 And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. |
